Chapter 374 - 237: Marionette Gear, Deep Root Maze (Double-length)
"Who are you?"
"Doyle Devis."
"Keep this letter and give it to the person I mentioned..."
"Tsk tsk, so ugly... Sculpt your toys prettier, you poor creature trapped in the past, hehe..."
The young knight had a voice that was youthful and playful, mixed with a gloomy and cold environment, flashing in his mind in the form of constantly interwoven memory fragments.
"Doyle Devis..."
"Cough cough..."
The young knight’s voice was extremely hoarse; in the darkness, he kept coughing and felt as though a giant foreign object was stuck in his throat.
"Cough cough, cough!"
After coughing twice more, the foreign object was expelled by him, seemingly falling to the ground with a sound of metal hitting a wooden plank.
"I..."
Only then did the young knight realize he couldn’t seem to open his eyes at all.
"Doyle Devis?"
That guy again?
What was the relationship between the young knight and him?
Rogel’s brow furrowed slightly.
Looking at the blind knight on the bed, he felt a surge of emotion.
Then, he leaned down, looking at the blood-stained foreign object on the ground.
[Doll Gear (Damaged)]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Explanation: A somewhat core gear component, but now it has no use, only serving as useless scrap.]
Gear?
Why would a living person cough up such a thing from their mouth?
Rogel’s curiosity intensified.
The surrounding crew members felt the same.
But after a moment of confusion, the young knight began to exhibit some strange behavior.
He seemed to be unaccustomed to this body, touching his own heart.
Then quickly touched his neck, elbow joints, and knees, finally looking even more confused.
"What is this...?"
"You’re blind," Mira said.
"Who!" The young knight was extremely vigilant and instinctively tried to draw his sword, only to find his waistband empty.
"Although we don’t know where you came from, you were unconscious in the sea; it was our captain who fished... rescued you."
Noemi said halfway, noticing Rogel’s warning look, and quickly corrected herself.
"I was unconscious?"
"I..."
The young knight heard this, did not immediately focus on his blindness, but instead frowned, touching his forehead, as if trying hard to recall something.
"Dark Kingdom... Bright Kingdom..."
"Nicole... Andy... I... He betrayed me..."
"..."
Watching him in this state.
Everyone felt a bit strange.
"Mira, is he a fool?" Noemi whispered.
"Bright Kingdom, Dark Kingdom? Only kids playing house would name like that..."
Mira made a sarcastic remark, then looked at Rogel.
"Captain, are these two kingdoms in the Sea of Confession?"
Rogel still had furrowed brows and shook his head: "There’s nothing on the map, but perhaps in other places."
In comparison, what concerned him more was the relationship between the young knight and Doyle Devis.
Thinking this, he slowly approached.
"I’m Rogel, captain of this ship."
"What’s your name, where do you come from?"
Upon hearing Rogel’s words.
The young knight struggled in bewilderment and pain, slowly raising his head, but his vision was still completely dark, unable to see anything, relying solely on the sound to discern the person in front.
"... I’m Daniel, an Oath Knight of the Bright Kingdom."
Daniel took a deep breath, seemingly accepting the current situation.
But soon, he pleaded with Rogel, somewhat anxiously.
"You must be fishermen from the Bright Kingdom, right?"
"Which sea area of the Isle of Light and Dark is this? Could I ask you to take me to the nearest port?"
"My fiancée must be waiting for me to return home; she’s surely worried!"
Upon hearing his words.
Rogel and the others exchanged looks.
"... The Isle of Light and Dark you’re talking about... is it an island in the Sea of Confession?"
Rogel felt something was off.
"Sea of Confession?" Daniel was a bit shocked: "What sea area is this? I’ve never heard of it."
"Isle of Light and Dark has only east, west, south, north seas and the central lake... Is this a local term?"
"..."
Rogel frowned deeper, not replying immediately.
Beside him, Lina pondered: "And outside of the four seas to the east, west, south, north?"
She speculated that the knight named Daniel might possibly be from a world corner like theirs, the Five Great Seas.
"Certainly insurmountable Celestial Wall."
Daniel became vigilant, the people before him didn’t even know these things.
"Who are you people?"
Insurmountable Celestial Wall...
Rogel didn’t speak.
Mira couldn’t stand it, began a brief explanation of this world for him.
But before he finished, Daniel interrupted directly: "This is impossible!"
"What endless ocean and fog? Ridiculous!"
After speaking, he stood up, seemingly unable to accept it.
But after taking two deep breaths, he calmed his emotions, realizing that his tone wasn’t good.
"I’m very sorry."
"You saved me, I’m grateful; as an Oath Knight Daniel, I swear I will remember this kindness."
"But please don’t joke with such stories, I truly wish to return home, my fiancée Nicole is waiting anxiously for me!"
Mira and Lina exchanged a glance.
Then Lina stepped forward, seriously saying: "Knight Daniel, whether you believe it or not, what we said is indeed true."
